I need this for an interior office space that is extremely hot and lacks effective AC. AC is out because I have no exhaust, would this help?

Depends on where you live. I talked to a rep from the manufacturer and she said it will never work in humidity or extreme heat. Here in Sacramento area it was useless. After 8 hours it lowered my bedroom room temp from 84 to 84. The rep said that was normal and what I should expect. She said is ain't no air conditioner lady. Back it went.

I would not recommend it. You are putting humidity into the air and with nowhere to vent the humid air you will end up with a sauna. Even with a window open, this did not cool at all for me.

It does not need an exhaust. It is a free standing air cooler with cleanable filters on the back. By keeping it filled with water you will benefit with the cooler air. It does cool the air but will not be as cold as AC but we used it last summer and were pleased the way it worked.

I have this in my garage for same purpose. It helps a little. I run if only on the hot days. U could add a thermostat control if u don't want to turn it in manually. It's like a louder faster bath exhaust fan. I had one in a workshop before to help exhaust fumes. It does a better job with the fumes than the heat. But it's just an 8" fan. A box fan or cyclone fan would move more air but this installs nicely in the wall.

I don't own the desk, but I can tell you if you plan to put a tower in one of the shelving spots it will cause your computer to run hot from lack of air. Also, remember that you have to run your wires too from back there.

I use this indoors so I don't have any experience with it outdoors! I would think the elements outside might break it down over time! It's pretty enclosed on the inside so I would think this would get hot on the inside with only airflow through it's one entrance/exit doorway. But with a little alterations like cutting out a window on each side & in the back that would the give u the airflow your looking for. If you know someone that is good with power tools to make the window cutout it would be an easy fix.

If you need to cool a small space, it's just fine. My home office is tiny and I have this a/c right behind me. I needed to break the plastic vent bec it was shooting all the a/c to the vaulted ceiling. Since I made the adaptation, the cold air blows right on me while computing.

This would work great for a bathroom exhaust fan. Keep in mind the negative pressure because this fan is pretty powerful so an open window or door is prob necessary for best results.

I would have to say no. We bought it to place in our garage, turned office and it was too loud and can be messy. It just didn't cool nearly like they said it would. We live in the Houston area, and as you know it's very hot and humid here too. I wouldn't waste my money :)

I use it as an air purifier. I truly do not think this will help a hot room. It has lasted a long time and is pretty good as a purifier in my hall. I only used it one time as a cold air unit. To me it was a nuisance, and it would have to be right in front of you. I have an additional window a/c unit for my bedroom that works well. You can get those pretty reasonable. I honestly do not think this particular item is your answer.

I have mine in the smallest bedroom which I made an office. It won't cool a living room or TV room unless you point the air cooler at you so you can feel the cool air. It works I have 2 of them and willmost likely get a 3rd. That's the best answer I can give you.

It would move air, but what is your intent? If you use it as an exhaust fan you would have to move air from someplace else in the room (open window). If used as an intact fan, then it would make a positive pressure environment if no outside vent/window/door is open.

Hello, I use this in my office and it is a wonder, really provides very adequate heat. My husband who is a mechanical person installed this, cut out the wall, etc. and thoroughly inspected the device before installation. It is quite contained, protected and encased, the only heat source is frontward and outward, keep things away from blocking the intake air flow, other than that, this is a super great purchase and really provides excellent warmth and that is adjustable with the knob to the level you desire. Do not forget to turn it off when you are done for the day. Hope this is reassuring to you, really excellent purchase for our desired location, small office.

The exit exhaust blows VERY hot air out. I don't think it would work, the air exiting is much hotter than the machine is cooling. I bought 6 of these, meant to only buy three and had a nightmare with the vendor. See my review before buying. Also, the unit does not cool nearly as well as the description says. It seems to get a SMALL room down to about 73 but no further. A big size room it is marginal at best.

Depending on the Temp in your home/office. I actually have my computer in one corner of my house that gets pretty warm and my Cooler Master V8 never has a problem. I would say use liquid cooling if you have a small airless environment with a small case that has few places (vent areas on the case) to put fans. Otherwise, air cooling is easier to install/replace and will cool things down just fine.

It will help a little, but it won't cool the whole floor to an acceptable level. Only the room you have it in will get acceptably cool. The other 3 rooms will feel like there isn't much cooling going on(even if you close all the windows).

I installed an intake fan since my power supply has a 120mm fan that is providing the exhaust functionality. That setup seems to keep everything pretty cool (<40 C).

Frankly if the cabinet is open, you do not really need the fan. Biut given the choices, I would pull air through the front and exhaust to the back.

I ran an AC unit off this that was rated at 6.3 amps (+ surge) and it got slightly warm but not a concern........if you can afford it, i would get the next one up from this unit......however, this may work, but the hotter it gets the less life it may have/ possible fire hazzard
